Review & Giveaway - Sedona Lace 168 Palette

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another tutorial, review and giveaway! I've partnered again with one of my favorite companies, Sedona Lace, to show you their newest product - the 168 Pro Full Color Palette. If you haven't jumped on these eyeshadow palettes yet, this is the perfect time to start. The 168 Palette has the most colors of all the palettes out there and in the video I tell you how the quality is even a step above the others. I'll show you how to create a super flattering plum makeup look, and then of course there will be another giveaway!

My Thoughts on the Palette
If you haven't bought any of the 88 palettes before, this palette is an amazing start. It has all the colors you need from neutrals to smokey and brights. The finishes also range from shimmer to matte. I also noticed that the quality of these shadows is a bit better than the other ones I reviewed. The color doesn't fade when blending, the pigmentation is brighter and the shadows last longer. I'm not sure what happened in the production process but two thumbs up! Just rock the shadows with whatever eyeshadow base you like and you're good to go.

I would love to win this palette because I am a junior in high school and can't afford much makeup at this time. Makeup artistry is my dream career and I would love to have this in my growing collection. <3

Ren, I'm SUPER excited about this giveaway! I've been wanting to try the Sedona Lace palettes for a while now! I REALLY would love to win to add my makeup collection plus I've never won anything other than a Blockbuster card like 8 years ago when they were still relevant! Have a great weekend!

This is a great Giveaway. I am a makeup bigginer and enthusiast. Quickly I found that make up is an art form for me stress relief. My former friend/ roommate stole my makeup from me and bounced along with some of my other things. I'm building back up my collection and follow your vids to build up my skills.

This is an awesome giveaway. I'd love to win as I'm a stay at home mom new to blogging. Because I'm a SAHM, I rarely have the opportunity to purchase items like this. I'm limited to 1 or 2 drugstore purchases here & there.

I love your blog and that you share so much knowledge, skill and talent with everyone. I can honestly say you changed my life -and its deeper than just the makeup! I would like to win because I could use a lot more practice and would like to be able to experiment with colors you use in your blog. Thanks RenRen!

hello ren ren. this is a lovely piece to have whether you are a makeup artist or not. i would love to win one of your contests, i follow you on EVERYTHING pretty much. thank you ren ren for the news & reviews. oh & by the way, you are fab!!!

hey, thanks sooo much for another giveaway!!! :D i would love to win this, there are sooo many different colors for soo many different makeup looks. I love how the shadows are so vivid and their bursh is sooo cute being pink, my favorite color :D

Hi RenRen you are so awesome with your giveaways, thank you another opportunity to win an amazing product. I would love to keep practicing and experimenting with colors. It's hard to find true primary colors and it looks like it's all here.

HELLO RENREN:) I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS GIVEAWAY BECAUSE I LOVE SEDONA LACE,I ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THEIR PALETTES BUT CAN'T AFFORD IT RIGHT NOW! I'M A MUA AND I ONLY OWN ONE 88 CS PALETTE SO I ALSO WANT TO BUILD MY COLLECTION AND THIS WILL DEFINITELY HELP ME!!THANKS SEDONA LACE FOR THIS LOVELY GIVEAWAY!!

I am a makeup artist and I need a palette. I want to try out all of those colors :D Another reason that I want the palette is because in Croatia people usually pay around $65 for wedding makeup what is NOTHING ... so I try to get what I can without paying for it since I will need to work 3x as much as I would in the US to pay off my makeup collection...

I would love to win this palette! I have really been wanting to experiment with colors instead of just always doing a single color and this palette would be perfect for me to get started doing great make up like you do!!

Hiiiiii Reeeen !!! =DFirst of all... thank you because you´re always thinking about us and this one, as always... is an amazing giveaway ! =) I would love to win because I don´t have a larger palette like this one and I really want to have my very own makeup collection hehe ! And this palette would be an amazing way to begin :) THANK YOOOU REN !!!!!!Lots of kisses !!!!

AWESOME GIVEAWAY!I would love to win because this palette has so many great colors of which to choose different eye looks! I love to watch your yt tutorials to get ideas on bright and colorful looks. Keep up the great ideas!!

I would like to win because I really need a palette that has a wide variety of colors and shades.I have recently started picking up more clients and I want to be prepared for any occasion... Thank you : )

I would like to win this palette because I only recently started embracing makeup and just ordered the 12 professional brushes from sedona lace through recommendation and would love to experiment with all the colours. Plus I live in the UK and we don't have Sedona Lace.

Hey Bella...I would like to win simply because I just love makeup! I must admit.....I'M ADDICTED TO MAKEUP...LOL!!! There really isn't any other excuse that I can come up with. Thanks for the contest! *mauh*

Hey Ren,I would like to win this palette because it would be a great essential for a girl like me who is looking to experiment more with great great colors in one big bundle.I'm so use to doing basic eyeshadow looks and I also want to build up my makeup kit:)

Love your giveaways. I'm always impressed with you reviews and have purchased a lot of the products you're reccomended! I have the 88 warm palette, but this seems like much brighter and fun colors! I would love to experiment with it. Thanks!

Your gorgeous!! I've never won anything before. I hope now is my chance, CROSSING FINGERS!! :) your makeup is a great everyday look. I'm in the US (LAS VEGAS NEVADA) your videos are well explained & have great details. My sister in law put me up for a job To do her friends makeup for a performance, FYI I've never done another persons makeup, other than my own. This would be great for me to get started, so many colors, so many different looks, I would love to get my hands on this! Thank you & sedona lace for this great giveaway

Gorgeous palette, awesome variety of colors and well pigmented? Why wouldn't I want this palette? As an aspiring makeup artist, I'd love to own a palette with all the colors of the rainbow and more to be able to play around and come up with looks half as good as yours!Thanks for this opportunity and good luck to all!!

First THANK'S.. and i love your tutorial/review about this palette!Well.. it's simple,i would like to win because this palette has wonderful colors and from what I saw in photos and the video.. can make anyone (go) crazy!

Hi! I want to win this palette because I would love to be able to experiment with different arrays of colors. It's hard to find a palette with good quality shadow. I would love to recommend Sedona Lace to others if I win this palette and it's great...which I'm sure it will be :-)

new follower! :)would love this set - eye makeup is one i always take for granted when pampering my face. it's high time i change that! this palette will give me absolute freedom to play around with colors.

Hey Ren Ren :) Thanks so much for this giveaway, I REALLY hope I win it. I have been dying to get a palette like this, it's everything you'll ever need in on product. It would be fabulous to travel with and this would be a great match for me because it has a lot of wearable colors (which I wear most)and beautiful brights (which I am naturally drawn to, but never really get any because I'm like.. "Can I pull that off?") and on a very limited budget I tend not to spring for things I want, and more towards things I need.. know what I mean?

Hi Ren! I don't own any e/s palettes that have more than 8 colors. This palette is beautiful. The number of eye looks you could come up with would be endless! How convenient to have so many colors in one palette! Thx for the honest (as always) review!

I'd love to win because I'm getting into makeup and I cant afford to buy all the colours I want to use from MAC or UD so these would be amazing so that I can explore this new found passion of mine:) thanks so much ren for the giveaway!

Awesome Giveaway!I would like to win this giveaway because, If I ever win it, this will be my very first Big eyeshadow palette. I Only own a couple of eyeshadow trios and quads but none as big as this palette. It will definitely be very useful, as it will help jumpstart my career as a freelance makeup artist.

I follow your blog as nZ!I would like to win this product because I would love to try out some new pigmented eyeshadows, this palette looks yummy anyway! ;) And I have heard that Sedona lace is awesome, but I haven't tried any of their products, so would love to win it =)

I would love to win this because it is absolutely beautiful and I could really use some bright fun colors in my collection. I usually stay within my comfort zone one colors but I really want to start incorporating fun looks and this palette would be awesome! Love your videos, you always have such beautiful looks. :)

Hello! Thanks for the giveaway! That's super cool!I'd really love to win this, because I'm very into make up, I'm really interested, but I can't afford this kind of pallet, they are very expensive in my country. :)

I think whoever wins should be deserving or in need or good makeup. I love Sedona Lace palette's and own a couple. But they need to get their name out. :) Brushes rule too...that's the other plus- one stop shopping! :)

I am fifty years young. My last two children are leaving for the university this year.I don't have much money for makeup especially to try new looks. I will miss my children but it's time for them to explore their world andI would like to try something new too. That is why I would like to win this palette.

I would love to have this palette cuz in my country there is hardly any good makeup.I love makeup and it would be amazing if il hav so many shadows together which are good too.Thanx alot for holding this giveaway:)

Thank you for another wonderful giveaway. I absolutely love the variety of color in the Sedona Lace 168 Palette. I also love bright, vibrant color in this palette. And I heard that the shadows are very pigmented which I love as well. I would love to win this palette. Thank you!

I would love to win this palette because it is really hard for me to purchase online. I'm still in high school so I don't receive an income and my parents don't let me purchases things online either which is sad! :(

So, this is the reason why I'm entering!

Thanks for holding this giveaway and I wish you the best of luck in choosing a winner! ^^

I haven't tried any Sedona Lace products yet and after your positive review i'm in! It would be great to win since i'm strapped for cash at the moment. A little bonus for following your youtube, twitter and blog. Keep those tutorials and reviews coming!

Omg , you dn't know how much I wanted this palette , like seriously , I wanted it for such a long time,you have no idea . But I wouldlove to win because I can't afford it , so it will be such a pleasure to win this (:

I would love to win the SedonaLace eyeshadow palette. I haven't had a chance to try their products yet. My Makeup budget is currently zero so it would be ages before I could afford it. I'm so bored with all the eyeshadow I have and would love to have new colors to experiment with for fun eyeshadow looks.

I also commented this on your youtube, there wasnt enough room for it to fit in one comment so I had to write it in two, just thought id let you know, I didnt want you to think I didnt follow the directions.

i'd really appreciate this pallette because ever since 1999 my father was diagnosed with hepatitis c, I'm 18 now. Ever since﻿ then the doctors told us he wouldnt be here much longer, his illness has pretty much killed all of his liver. I was robbed of my childhood and full-time take care of my father who is getting worse and﻿ worse by the day. We pay a huge fee for his insurace to keep him on the 'liver transplant list'. My father hasnt worked for 5 years now after he began internal bleeding,the only income we really get is from﻿ a check the goverment gives up﻿ for him being unemployed and disabled. We struggle to keep our mouths fed muchless being able to but makeup for myself. I pertty much learned to deal with not being able to have whatever I want. If I won this pallette It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you & God Bless.
